With a life dictated by his clandestine work as a spy, Lucian Grey, the Duke of Cumbria, was determined to control one thing—his choice of a wife. Instead, he finds himself tasked with saving the reputation of his unlikely stowaway. Because how can an unmarried woman’s reputation survive weeks at sea, alone in his company?
But the capable duke isn’t easily perturbed and quickly devises a plan. Hester will disguise herself as a boy and become Harry for the remainder of the journey.
Lucian will teach her how to talk, act, and even drink like a man. And if they can survive French frigates, storms, and murdered spies, Hester and Lucian might get home in one piece. But their hearts are another matter. Because with each passing day at sea, it becomes painfully clear that the duke’s perfect bride is much closer than either could have guessed…
A slow burn, open door Regency romance, perfect for fans of Heyer's wit and Bridgerton's heat.
